TN-Birders: This coming Friday and Saturday (May 20-21) is the 4th annual Chattanooga BioBlitz at the Chattanooga Nature Center and Reflection Riding Arboretum. A BioBlitz is a 24-hour survey of all the biodiversity of an area. Groups from all over the area will be surveying all possible taxa; plants, fungi, vertebrates, invertebrates, etc. Once again I am in charge of the bird team, and if anyone would like to participate, please let me know. The survey runs from 3:00 pm Friday until 3:00 pm Saturday. Accommodations can be made for those wishing to camp overnight at the Nature Center. Dinner on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday will be provided. Even if you don't want to participate, please show up and watch. There will be a variety of public demonstrations and children's activities. For more information about the bird survey, e-mail me or call me at 423-425-5236. For more information about the BioBlitz in general, contact Kyle Waggener at 423-821-1160 or kwaggener@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:kwaggener@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. Thank you!
